We are excited to open registrations for our first professional learning event of the year! On Saturday March 11, from 10am to 2pm, we are holding a Sharing and Creating of Resources event at the University of NSW (UNSW). The idea is for members from all three teaching stages (primary, secondary and university) to get together, share ideas and create resources. The day will start with short presentations from representatives of each teaching stage to better understand and manage the progressions of students in the language. We will then form teams to share ideas and to create resources and/or programs. The cost of this event is $35, with lunch and refreshments provided on the day. Registrations close 8 March (for catering purposes) We look forward to seeing many of you!  * Fecha: 19 y 20 de noviembre de 2022 * Lugar: Universidad de NSW (UNSW) * Destinatarios: Profesores de español de Australia de primaria, secundaria y universidad, así como estudiantes de educación.

El Instituto Cervantes, así como diferentes universidades y asociaciones de profesores están colaborando con la Consejería para su puesta en marcha ya que el principal objetivo es que sea de gran utilidad para profesores de español de todos los niveles educativos. Los profesores de primaria, secundaria y universidad descubrirán experiencias prácticas para su aplicación en el aula. Además el sábado por la noche los participantes y sus acompañantes podrán asistir a una cena de gala en el restaurante "The Lounge" localizado en la UNSW.
